Do You Believe? Resources

NINE WAYS TO REACH YOUR COMMUNITY WITH DO YOU BELIEVE?:

Plan now to host a movie event at the theater on opening weekend (March 20, 2015) You can either purchase group tickets in advance for a particular showing, or reserve a whole theater just for your church. If you reserve an entire theater, you may be able to give an introduction at the beginning, and then at the end give an invitation to learn more about the topics in the film at your Do You Believe? sermon series.

Many people will want to go deeper, answer the question of what they really believe, and take the next step to live out their faith in a way that impacts others. Coordinate a small group launch with your sermon series, and invite visitors and attenders to learn more while making deeper connections to your church.

Frequently, teens who are entering college fall away from their faith because they are not grounded in their faith and are without an answer to what they truly believe, and why they believe it. Prepare the youth of your church to KNOW what they believe and to make the decision to put action with their faith in the real world.

Provide members with easy-to-use invitation tools like DoorHangers, InviteCards, postcards, and the Do You Believe? booklet. Encourage them to pray about who God would have them reach to with an invitation to attend a Do You Believe? movie night at the theater or your church’s sermon series.

Help your members invite others to the movie and your sermon series and small groups by spreading the word online! Create Facebook events on your church page, and encourage members to use this to invite their networks. Launch a Twitter campaign, asking your congregation to tweet about the movie and your series details using the hashtag #dybmovie. Social media ready graphics are included in the Church Kit.

Build excitement around your church for the movie, sermon series and small groups with indoor banners. Display these movie-themed banners in your lobby, hallways or classrooms – they can be customized with your sermon series and/or small group launch dates, free!
